AMD ryzen 1700 zenstates C6
by Peter McD 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

Hi, I'm about installing a fresh Leap 15.5. For Leap 15.4 and Tumbleweed my processor needed disabling zenstate c6, and someone provided a python script which did just that. Is this still relevant for a "fresh" installation of Leap 15.5 /Tumbleweed? Below is a link to the problem. cu Peter https://forum.level1techs.com/t/ryzen-and-disabling-c6-c-state-the-curse-of…

imap servers
by joe a 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

While doing preliminary work to retiring a legacy proprietary email system, my own, looking at maybe setting up an IMAP server, just for the fun of it. On a fresh openSuse 15.4 I see none installed by default and when I go sniffing about in YAST, i find several flavors available for install: dovecot dovecot23 imap (and sundry) Funny I was just ready about 3 body problems . . .

Why is Nvidia repo failing for 15.4? [PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1)]?
by David C. Rankin 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

All, On a couple of zypper refresh attempts lately, I receive: Problem retrieving files from 'nvidia'. Download (curl) error for 'https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.4/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Curl error 92 Error message: HTTP/2 stream 5 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1) History: - Giving up after 3 attempts. Is this a known issue, or something spurious on my end? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kernel config in home:tiwai:kernel:android
by Adam Mizerski 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

I was interested in installing waydroid. I found few competing packages in the build service, but one in home:onlyJak0b:Stable:waydroid seemed the best for me. Anyway, they all require a kernel with additional modules like ashmem and binder. The recommended projects are home:tiwai:kernel:android and home:Dead_Mozay:kernel:android:TW. They contain config.addon.tar.bz2 file with a config snippet, which adds required options. But in both cases in build log there's something like this: [ 31s] + /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/check-for-config-changes .config.orig .config [ 31s] Changes after running `make oldconfig': [...] [ 31s] -CONFIG_ANDROID=y [ 31s] -CONFIG_ASHMEM=y which seems to be removing those options and kernel is built without the needed modules. Anyone got hints on how to fix this?

Mono and dotnet (which has perhaps gone missing?)
by Roger Oberholtzer 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

I have a package (hardware vendor supplied) that requires Mono/dotnet. I have used this in the past with openSUSE. But when installing this package on a different system, I am experiencing difficulties. Most likely because I don't know how the Mono/dotnet stuff is organized in openSUSE packages. When installing the package, it complains: error: Failed dependencies: mono(System.Collections) = 4.1.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.ComponentModel.Primitives) = 4.2.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Console) = 4.1.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Diagnostics.Process) = 4.2.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.IO.FileSystem) = 4.1.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Linq) = 4.2.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Runtime) = 4.2.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Runtime.Extensions) = 4.2.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Text.RegularExpressions) = 4.2.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading) = 4.1.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Threading.Thread) = 4.1.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.ReaderWriter) = 4.2.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 mono(System.Xml.XmlSerializer) = 4.1.1.0 is needed by navsolve-cmd-1.2.0-2.x86_64 Ok. Fair enough. So I installed mono-core, which installs lots of stuff. It did not help. Maybe the explicit version number checks are wrong. I converted a DEB to an RPM, which has been working great. But maybe the version stuff that is there is too strict. That's a different topic... I then installed the package with --nodeps. Just to see what's going on. When I try to run the application, I get this: /usr/local/bin/navsolve-cmd: line 3: dotnet: command not found Ok. I seem to recall having to install dotnet. But it does not seem to be available anymore via Yast. If I go the the openSUSE software download page and look for dotnet for any number of openSUSE/SUSE distros, it claims that there are no packages found. It does find them for Centos. And perhaps others- Anyone know where dotnet for openSUSE has scurried off to? -- Roger Oberholtzer

how/what formatting disks for sale
by Daniel Bauer 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Hi, There are some external 1 and 2TB disks laying around here who got too small for me and I want sell them cheap. Each has an encrypted partition with reiserfs inside. So, I guess, first I'll have to remove the encrypted partition and make a new one with fdisk. Then add a file-system with mkfs. Two questions: - should I use NTFS? - after installing the file system usually the device belongs to root and I first have to change it to "me-user" before I can write on it as a user. I don't know about rights on Win or Mac. Is there anything I should/must do so that a Win or Mac-User can use the disks just switching them in?

hardware(?)-problem with new mini pc
by Daniel Bauer 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

Hi, I just bought a new intel-I7-mini pc (brand of a Spanish shop pccomoponentes, which doesn't exist in internet, so I don't know about the psysical details). I installed OpenSuse 15.5 which went flawless, but later, during the first update, it suddenly shut down and rebooted. This repeated several times, but the sudden shutdown/reboot occurs after different times in different situations. Because my first thought was that it's a memory problem I booted with memtest86 and let it run for approx. 5 hours (1 full pass plus some more) with no error reported. In one occasion while running OS I got the following system messages: Message from syslogd@localhost at Jun 10 08:41:52 ... kernel:[ 0.281458] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 ADDR 7fad98dd9bb7 MISC 7fad98dd9bb7 Message from syslogd@localhost at Jun 10 08:41:52 ... kernel:[ 0.281462] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:806ec TIME 1686379255 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode ec Message from syslogd@localhost at Jun 10 08:41:52 ... kernel:[ 0.284382] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 1: Machine Check: 0 Bank 3: be00000000800400 Message from syslogd@localhost at Jun 10 08:41:52 ... kernel:[ 0.284389] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 ADDR 7fad98dd9bb7 MISC 7fad98dd9bb7 Message from syslogd@localhost at Jun 10 08:41:52 ... kernel:[ 0.284393] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:806ec TIME 1686379255 SOCKET 0 APIC 2 microcode ec Message from syslogd@localhost at Jun 10 08:41:52 ... kernel:[ 0.281453] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check: 0 Bank 4: be00000000800400 that explain to: Hardware event.

My questions: - Can anyone decrypt those mce messages? - Is is clear that it is a hardware error or could it be a software thing? Thanks for your hints!

VirtualBox crashes gnome-shell on TW
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

Hi, I have two machines running TW. One is running with Xfce and I don't see a single issue with VirtualBox. But the other machine is a pretty new one (Lenovo X1) running Gnome and VirtualBox is pretty much unusable there. When I try to run a Windows VM it crashes. When I try to install the vbox-extensions it crashes. And when I say "it" according to logs it mainly is gnome-shell which is crashing. Jun 24 20:21:49 ox.rosenauer.org gnome-shell[9547]: Clutter:ERROR:../clutter/clutter/clutter-actor.c:5552:clutter_actor_finalize: assertion failed: (priv->grabs == NULL) Jun 24 20:21:49 ox.rosenauer.org gnome-shell[9547]: Bail out! Clutter:ERROR:../clutter/clutter/clutter-actor.c:5552:clutter_actor_finalize: assertion failed: (priv->grabs == NULL) Jun 24 20:21:49 ox.rosenauer.org gnome-shell[9547]: == Stack trace for context 0x56540a7660f0 == VirtualBox is just a black window from then on as well. Anyone else who has seen something like this? Thanks, Wolfgang
